again and no  counter potion will kill him now, i think so... But now 
I think about it -  what if Snape was the one who 'invented' the 
potion which Peter brew for  Voldemort in GoF? Maybe he created 
something - 'in case of', before the  events in GH? 
He could of course help Voldemort with the potion in GoF or  even PoA 
but I don't think he is THAT evil... I think that now he is a  good 
guy and he tries to prevent Voldie from using his  potions...

Hmmm... When I read these posts, it brought to mind 2 questions that
parts of these theories can answer.  
 
1.  Why does Dumbledore trust Snape?
 
Perhaps, Snape did "invent" or help with the steps that caused  Voldemort
to stay alive, and for some reason or the other, came to Dumbledore to  tell
him what had happened.  Resulting in Dumbledore figuring out that  Voldemort
would/could come back eventually, and how it would happen.
 
2.  What was the "gleam of something like triumph in Dumbledore's  eyes"?
 
Maybe, if my previous answer is true, it could be that Dumbledore had 
been told by Snape how to revive Voldemort, and they had done  something
wrong, something that put the odds greatly in Harry's favor for the ending 
battle.  
 
I however do disagree with Julia's thought that Snape may have helped
with the potion during that year. Because if that were true, then 
Dumbledore wouldn't need Harry's explanation of the events at the  Graveyard. 
 
And even more than that, Dumbledore would have known that Voldemort 
was planing his return, and he would have known about the Portkey.  
Unless of course, you are suggesting that either Dumbledore or Snape 
are secretly evil!? Or perhaps you have another theory?  
 
I admit that my thoughts are not exactly mind blowing, but if any one 
else has thoughts on this I would love to hear  them!!!
